Winston Churchill: At War and Thinking of War before 1939 de B. J. C. McKercher

Winston Churchill: At War and Thinking of War before 1939: Routledge Studies in Modern British History

Editat de B. J. C. McKercher, Antoine Capet
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 sep 2020
Although remembered and even lauded in the public mind as the British prime minister during the Second World War who played a major role in Allied victory over the Axis Powers and Japan, Winston Churchill had a life and political career before 1939 conditioned by fighting other wars and, in peacetime, thinking about war. While historians debate his achievements and failures between 1939 and 1945, a less explored dimension is Churchill’s earlier connexion with war and warfare. This book explores Churchill’s earlier experience in fighting wars as a soldier and politician.

Recenzii

"Overall, these essays build up a picture of Churchill as a new breed of politician, confident in his own abilities, prepared to speak his mind, impatient to act and prepared to use his pen as a weapon. The book is likely to be of most interest to specialists or those with some prior knowledge of Churchill’s career, but I am glad that the conference papers will continue to stimulate debate. After all, in words attributed to Winston: "Meeting jaw to jaw is better than war.""
- Allen Packwood, Christ Church, Cambridge
"Winston Churchill: At War and Thinking of War Before 1939 provides a collection of substantive and challenging essays that make many useful observations that will stimulate further historical discussion and scholarship."
- Brad Tolpannen, The International Churchill Society
"In an introduction and eight essays by an international group of scholars, we get a look at the evolution of Winston Churchill’s thoughts on war as derived from his experiences as a soldier, politician, journalist, and historian."

- The NYMAS REVIEW
